You should be able to put the XML doc in a simple string and pass that string back and forth.

The issue isn't about passing a simple number, what I'd like to figure out how to do is to pass a large XML document from/to axis to/from the client. If anybody has a straightforward way to do this (RPC or Messaging) I would really appreciate the example being shown. I'm sure this isn't difficult, I just haven't been able to figure out how to do it.
